Earlier this week, we reported that Apple had pulled an update for its HomeKit app due to multiple problems.
Now, for those of us who have updated before Apple pulled it, the company has issued a support document outlining some possible solutions on how to get some problems worked out.

Two people who careered off a mountainside in California were located and rescued after contacting emergency services through the iPhone 14's Emergency SOS satellite feature.
As MacRumors reports. a Twitter thread documenting the Dec. 13 rescue by the Montrose Search & Rescue Team (MSRT) says the passengers were “a male and female in their 20s" who were brought by helicopter to a local hospital with “mild and moderate injuries.”
Before being located and airlifted, the pair were able to “extricate themselves from the car," and communicated to a “relay center via text” using the SOS satellite service on an iPhone 14, according to the thread.
The tweets state that emergency teams received a call from the Apple emergency satellite service at approximately 1:55 p.m. and that Apple’s emergency call center was able to provide "an accurate latitude and longitude for the victims."
The accident, which took place on the Angeles Forest Highway in the Angeles National Forest, led to the vehicle falling 300 feet into Monkey Canyon, according to rescuers.
A Twitter user with the handle @cloeleahfields replied to the thread saying: “This was me. Honestly grateful for you guys and everyone… We are ok! Thank you all!”
In a tweet on her profile, the user added: “I’m grateful for everyone who has checked on me and thankful to still be here. It hasn’t hit me yet.” The tweet includes a photo of a woman wearing a neck brace with several bruises on her face in what looks like a hospital bed. The Twitter user also shared a photo of a badly damaged upturned vehicle at the bottom of a canyon, and a picture of a tire in a stream.
